[b]2) I know there is precedence for timelines being destroyed. I'm referring to the fact that there is no precedent for telekinesis to be used on time or a timeline or a future. Don't twist my statements to avoid arguing the issue. You already conceded that there has been no precedent for it in prior posts. Your facetious ignorance doesn't change or rehabilitate that fact.[/B]
Irrelevant. She says she did it, its artistically represented and that was good enough for Marvel who went on to refer to her severing the future from reality. Simple.
There’s a first time for everything ODG. Just because you cant comprehend how she did it, doesn’t mean that it never happened according to continuity. There are no courses in comic book science.

[b]3) The scene CAN be interpreted that way. But it's yet another speculative attenuation that runs contrary to simple perception and orderinig of prose and art. I'm not saying that it is absolutely and ultimately clear your interpretation is contradicted. I'm just saying that it is laughable and it sucks compared to a simpler and plainer interpretation. You can't change that. I'm not going to prove a negative. You have to show that it is more likely than not, that Jean literally meant she used telekinesis to cut the future away. I already gave you several reasons why it is less likely and you can't equivocate around that. You merely rely on the suspension of disbelief, which as a debator in an argument, equates to self-serving logic, "It doesn't make sense to you and you have reasons why, but you can't prove that it is beyond the realm of possibility, so just accept it over your own, less attenuated interpretation." Yeah? No sale.[/B]
It isn’t contrary to scene ordering at all as I have explained above. She tried to go about her mission by removing Sublime from reality, you see her removing the colony from Beast and yet after that stating that the infestation was too great so she had to amputate the whole future. Disinfection is to remove or cleanse an area of infection. Jeans actions saw her achieve this end, hence the Consciousness’ acknowledgement.
Your “simpler” interpretation:
1)Doesn’t account for the disappearance of 150 years of timeline
2) Doesn’t account for the non appearance of a divergent timeline which would have arisen if Jean merely changed the past without having removed the future first.
3) Unlike mine isn’t confirmed as the case by a supporting official source(Your one handbook scan contradicts on panel scenes and the scene is subsequently clarified in a later entry)
